WINDOW SEAT. Y

Y l Application mea April io, 1926. serial no. reinar.

LMy'inve'nti'ni relatesj, to improvements in window seats and has for object tlieprovision of an improved construction of this character arranged and adapted to be read1ly .attached to vany ordinaryv window sill to facilitate washing thewindows and which is capable .of .economical inaniifacture and is, highly eflieientrin use. y

AOther objects will appearhereinafter.

The invention consistsy in' the rcombinations and arrangementsv of parts hereinafter' describediand claimed. l l The 'invention' willV be` best-t understood lby reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,k f 'l f l q Fig. .1 is a topplanfview of a window seat embodying the'invention;

Fig.2 is. a vertiealrsectlon through a window sill showing'ithe seat inpositionof use;A

Fig. 3 .is a section taken on ,the line 3-3 ofFigxZ; I l l Eig.. tis asection takenl on the line l-- oftFig. 1; and

Fig, 5 is al vertical modified form of construction.4

`The preferred formfofconstruction comprises a; rsub'stantially rectangular 5. main frame made up of an inner part 6 rand an outei` part 7 constructedas shown of steel strips bent and arrangedtO-Orm the respectiveends of a rectangular frame said frame portionsbeing ad] ustably secured togetherV by meansv of hinge boltst whereby the angularity between said frainevsections maybe read-I ily," adjusted y.to suity different window sills. Y

Theframe section isprovidedwith hook elementsf) arranged and adapted to engage over the inner ledge 10 of an ordinary win-4 dow sillwithy said main frame projecting outwardly through the window .andresting on the window sill as shown in Fig. 2. A seatffraine .'11 is'pivotallyconnected by means of the bolts 12 with the Vsides of the fr ainev section 7, said frame section 7 being provided with a plurality of sets of bolt holes 13 by means of which the position of the seat frame may be adjusted on the main frame to suit different widths of window sills. The seatframe 11 is extended below said main frame and bent to form a stop 14: and a supporting shoulder 15 to rest over the outer ledge 16 of the window sill as shown in Fig. 2 and whereby said main frame and seat frame will be securely supported and clamped to said window sill. The sides of section of a slightly saidseat frame thenv extendedupwardly i laterally as shownrto restupon the sides of the main frame. The sides of theseatframe A 1l .alteidle extended above the maia iframe. and a Vback rest 2O is pivot'allyeonnected by n means of bolts 2l with theupper lportions of said seatframe. The said backrest consists of astrip'of steel vbent into ,substantially;.UpA

shape as shown and havingth'e central por;

tionQQ twisted relativelytotheiside portions asshown to constitute a flatrest for the back.

ofA the -personseated 4upon the seat board 19,

By this arrangement i rt.,-w-ill`y be'V notedthat the seat may be readily ustedtoany ordinary window sill and securely clamped thereto so as to; support.v the Jweight v)of :1l-personA washing the windowj on they outside/fthe baci; rest '2O-22 Suppertinsgrle back Of. the vili: dow washer and also preventingfalling from said seat. By means of the holesl/S the seat frame may be adj ustedtoaccommodate various sizes of window sills and the main frame can be adjustedw angularly. to ,suit different V shapes of window sills: Vlt iyill'be' that the weight i of the window washerA will be supported'substantially directly upon the Suiirmtinshoulder 1 5-,Qnt.11.01itr lds@ 0f thegvindowusill and l thus a irmand secure support afforded. Obviously with@ .person seated uponthe seat board19 the device will be.securelyclampedl to the Window. sill and disengagement positively prevented.

l Fig. 5 I have illustrated Va `slightly modified formi of constructionin which the inner and` outerportions'of the mainframe are lformed integrally VY*with eachother and are therefore not adjustable.` yOtherwisey the construction isythe` same. as that already de- Scibeda ',n i f. ile I have illustratedand described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into eect, it is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
